The Cat from Hue
Formidable, gripping and always informative....Laurence`s eloquent, at times acerbic recollection of Vietnam is one of the finest books in its genre, comparable to Michael Herr`s Dispatches. --
The New York Times Book Review
.
John Laurence covered the Vietnam war for CBS News from 1965 to 1970 and was judged by his colleagues to be the best television reporter of the war. His documentary about a squad of U.S. troops, The World of Charlie Company, received every major award for broadcast journalism. Despite the professional acclaim, however, the traumatic stories Laurence covered became a personal burden that he carried long after the war was over.
In this evocative, unflinching memoir, laced with humor, anger, love, and the unforgettable story of Mio, the Vietnamese cat, Laurence recalls coming of age during the war years as a journalist and as a man. Along the way, he clarifies the murky history of the war and the role that journalists played in altering its course.
The Cat from Hui
has earned passionate acclaim from many of the most renowned journalists and writers about the war, as well as from military officers and war veterans, book reviewers, and readers. Now available in trade paperback with a new epilogue, this book will stand with Michael Herr`s Dispatches
, Philip Caputo`s A Rumor of War
, and Neil Sheehan`s A Bright, Shining Lie
as one of the best books ever written about Vietnam-and about war generally.REVIEW: A gritty account that in its close-up portrayal of men confronting war is as timeless as accounts from Homer to Ernie Pyle. (

Doogie Howser, MD - Season One (DVD)
Created by successful television producers Steven Bochco (NYPD BLUE, HILL STREET BLUES) and David E. Kelley (PICKET FENCES, BOSTON PUBLIC), DOOGIE HOWSER, M.D. took a dubious premise and became a household name. Neil Patrick Harris (who eventually won a Golden Globe for the role) starred as teenaged genius Doogie, who has successfully completed college and become a doctor at a young age. While he may be smart enough to practice medicine, Doogie is still going through the process of growing up, which often conflicts with his duties. Luckily his best friend Vinnie and his sometimes-girlfriend Wanda are there to help him. In each episode Doogie learns a life lesson, which he remembers on his computer journal. SEASON ONE contains all 26 episodes of the show's premier year.
